1. Welcome: Chandler and Zainab, YAC senior chairs welcome 39 students who attended the meeting. They stated that YAC is there to help them find their passion to help the community. They can join existing projects or create their own. Chandler also warned that STUCO will sponsor "a few big projects." Those will be the only projects that will involved the entire school. Mrs. Clay took pictures
2. Introductions: Ongoing members and projects: Green Team YES-Salman; YAC Britton Buddies-Rebekah; Casady Cans Do-Zainab; Knitting for Soldiers-Chandler. Mrs. Clay stated that the 45 hour requirement for graduation should be completed with "attendance to YAC projects," participation in big projects, or doing a personal project.
3. YAC Extreme Makeover. How? Why? Connections to STUCO: Chandler only mentioned that there will be fewer projects embraced by the whole school. It is still being worked and not at liberty to share details that have not been finalized yet.
